23 Diagsum Diagrams sharing identical denominators can be summed before the algebraic processing: Sum diagrams which have different tree-part Sum diagrams with same loop but different particles in loop:
24 Grouping Group numerators of diagrams sharing same cuts Structure of diagrams is analyzed Detect diagrams sharing same proparators If needed apply a shift to the loop momentum

26 Numerator construction Construct expression suitable for both by factoring out loopmomentum dependent part: : coefficient depending only from constants and ffexternal kinematical variables (abbreviation) written in optimized form recycling common subexpressions evaluated once per phase-space point : some function of the loop momentum
27 Reduction method 1: Samurai [Mastrolia, Ossola, Reiter, Tramontano] Factorized numerator reduced with SAMURAI: OPP reduction algorithm D-dimensional extension [Ossola, Papadopoulos, Pittau] [Ellis, Giele, Kunszt, Melnikov] : are polynomials in the components of and in
28 Reduction method 1: Samurai [Mastrolia, Ossola, Reiter, Tramontano] Factorized numerator reduced with SAMURAI: For each cut define basis of four massless vectors and write Subtract higher point residues to detemine lower ones
29 Reduction method 1: Samurai [Mastrolia, Ossola, Reiter, Tramontano] Factorized numerator reduced with SAMURAI: Coefficient of polynomials via DFT [Mastrolia, Ossola, Papadopoulos, Pittau]
30 Reduction method 2: Golem95 Reconstruct tensor coefficient of factorized numerator by successive derivative: derive: computes the numerator by expanding in a Taylor series one-to-one correspondence between derivatives at coefficients of the tensor integrals and the In general slightly slower but, together with tensor integral library, great stabiliy: perfect as a rescue system!
31 D-dim. Integrand Reduction via Laurent Expansion The coefficients of the master integrals obtained from a Laurent expansion of the integrand on the multiple cuts Structure of multiple cut residues is process-independent integrand subtraction replaced by corrections to the coefficients obtained with the Laurent expansion Advantage: a "lighter" reduction algorithm where fewer coefficients need to be computed e.g. quintuple cut not needed [Mastrolia, Mirabella, Peraro] [Forde; Kilgore; Badger] [Ossola, Papadopoulos, Pittau] quadruple cut decoupled from triple-, double-, and single-cut.
32 Reduction method 3: Ninja Implemented within GoSam using Ninja: Process for the Laurent expansion providing: relevant coefficients of the expansion needed for the quadruple cuts the coefficients of the parametric expansion at needed for all the triple, double, and single cuts. Ninja is a C++ library that: performs the Laurent expansion semi-numerically through a simplified polynomial-division algorithm determines the coefficients combines coefficients and master integrals [Mastrolia, Mirabella, Peraro]
33 Rational part: R 2 treatment NO special action is necessary for R 2 Nevertheless two solutions possible: R 2 implicit: - terms kept into numerator expression and processed with other terms by SAMURAI/GOLEM95 R 2 explicit: - terms separated and computed analytically during algebraic reduction of the numerator useful to detect large cancellation between cutconstructible part and R 2
